Autism and Faith
Manage episode 329025770 series 1301282
How easy is it for autistic people to believe in God?
The National Autistic Society describe autism as a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people communicate and interact with the world. They say 1 in 100 of us may be autistic and the diagnosis of autism has risen dramatically in recent decades.
How are religious organisations responding to the needs of a growing number of their congregations?
Ernie Rae is joined by a panel of three autistic guests to discuss their experiences: Professor Grant Macaskill, the co-director of the Centre for Autism and Theology at the University of Aberdeen; Samantha Stein, a YouTuber with over seven million views, who set up an atheist summer camp; and Iqra Babar, a digital artist with a strong Muslim faith.
We also hear from TV quizzer Anne Hegarty, who is autistic and a Catholic, about her relationship with faith.
Producer: Rebecca Maxted Assistant Producer: Josie Le Vay Editor: Helen Grady
